The Midday Nap or Siesta

Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Take a nap, for the shayaateen do not take naps.” (Reported by al-Tabaraani. Al-Saheehah, 2647).

Al-Hasan al-Basri passed by a group of people in the marketplace in the middle of the day, and heard the racket they were making. He said, “Do these people take a nap?” It was said to him, “No.” He said, “I think their nights must be bad.”

asalaam alaikum dear sister ,subhanAllah, with schools starting tomorrow here in saudi the kids have to be up and out at fajr. i was considering not giving them a nap and just down time when they get home before they go again for a lesson at night so that they could be asleep by 8ish. but this post discouraged that and i think ill have to give them a nap and if they sleep closer to 9 or 10 at the latest then that would be ok too..inshaAllah.cute title for blog btw!barakAllah feeki..
